mans. Tho first is "where Is the Peacemakerf" It
shows the conventional figures Of Russian, an Eng
hshman Frencbman and Chinaman. When the

attained in tho second picture, representing Gen.
eral Boulanger NJ Paul Deroulede, Herr Richter and
Herr windthorst. Folded together they also exhibit
the Imperial Chancellor. The Berliners appear to
